Trans woman's death shines light on plight of homeless

In the wake of Jennifer Gale's death in Austin last week, LGBT advocates in Texas are turning their attention to the issue of transgender homelessness.

Gale, 47, a homeless transgender woman and perennial political candidate who ran for Dallas mayor in 2007, was found dead early on Dec. 17 outside a church north of the University of Texas campus.  Gale, who was also an advocate for the homeless who spoke frequently at government meetings, died from cardiac arrest, authorities said, and the cold weather may have been a contributing factor.
